The 2018 Harley-Davidson Heritage Classic marked the first year of the fully redesigned Softail platform, dropping the old twin-shock chassis for a stiffer frame and swapping in the Milwaukee-Eight 107 V-twin for smoother, torquier power under that classic tour-inspired silhouette of studded leather, whitewall tires, and a detachable windshield. It's a bike built to look like the past and ride like the present -- except Harley never gave it a factory radio or infotainment screen. Fix that with the 7-inch HogPlay Media Screen, a bar-mounted display built for exactly this gap.
No Factory Radio — Add Your Own Screen
The 2018 Harley-Davidson Heritage Classic left the factory with no radio, stereo or touchscreen to bypass — so instead of a workaround, you add your own. A standalone HogPlay Media Screen is a 7-inch head unit with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, live Maps & Waze navigation, calls and streaming built in — we recommend the Screen 7 Pro with its onboard DVR drive-cam. Most riders settle for Bluetooth-only kits that leave the phone in your pocket with no turn-by-turn directions; this puts it all on the bars instead. It mounts to the handlebars with basic power and ground and comes off just as easily, so reach out to the HogPlay team if you'd like a hand. (Media Box support on Screens is in development.)

Heritage Classic riders bought into a specific look: big whitewalls, a studded seat, saddlebags, and a windscreen that says touring without saying "big touring bike." The 2018 redesign kept all of that while quietly modernizing the chassis and engine underneath, but the dash stayed simple -- no built-in screen, no CarPlay, no Android Auto. That's where the HogPlay Media Screen comes in.
It mounts to the handlebars in clear view, wires to a switched power source and ground, and pairs wirelessly with your phone for Apple CarPlay or Android Auto -- turn-by-turn navigation, calls, and music without a cable running to your pocket. Installation is reversible, so nothing about the Heritage Classic's stock look or resale value takes a permanent hit.
